Liposuction and Breast Reduction are complimentary to each other

Because breasts are composed of both fatty and fibrous tissue, liposuction alone is rarely very effective. Most women who need their breasts reduced (due to excessively large size) also have excess breast skin. Surgical removal of this excess tissue is almost always required to some extent. Liposuction works well in concert with breast reduction, to help contour the outer chest wall and areas near the armpits.

In the scientific literature, liposuction is an accepted modality for breast reduction surgery. However, skin redundancy postoperatively makes this option less acceptable in the majority of cases. I prefer the short scar reduction mammaplasty technique from France that minimizes surgical scarring from breast reduction surgery.
